I'll try and get some more pics this weekend, weather permitting. There are no "gaps," per se, except by design. The spoiler does not install flush across the entire length of the bumper. It’s difficult to describe the design, but, along the area beneath the rear license plate section there is space b/t the natural curvature of the spoiler and the flat surface of the bumper. I’ll see if I can get some shots for you.

Molding the rear? I'm not sure what you mean?

I am planning to upgrade both the wheels and tires when my factory tires finally wear out. I'll be searching this board for ideas. I don't know much about offsets and spacers beyond what I've read here.

Yup. It uses three screws: one in each wheel well and one underneath the fog lamp enclosure. The rest is tape.

Molding the rear diffuser....in other words.....you make the diffuser look as if the rear of the car came that way from the factory. I molded my Mine's front lip to my OEM front bumper.....




If you look close, you won't see any appearance like the lip was an "add-on".....it looks as if it came that way straight from the factory. The best photo you posted that shows the rear diffuser is an add-on is here:



You can see the line that separates the OEM bumper from the add-on diffuser. Not sure if that helps explain the situation but I hope it does. Feel free to PM me if you have any other questions.

Varis makes FRP and Carbon versions of each piece of their aero kit (front, side, rear) but it's just out of order on our website so it may be hard to find. Here is our Varis section with all the parts Varis offers listed:

370ZTUNE.com

Hope that helps.

Hm. I see what you mean. I like what you've done there. I'll look into it. Thanks for the post.

I can't stop looking @ these. I can't wait till mine come in. @ 2theextreme, thanks for the info regarding the molding. I never knew that was possible. Check your inbox.

PM replied....and I had no idea it was possible, either! I blame Mike @ 370ZTune for posting a picture of a white 370Z that had a molded Mine's lip and when I saw that....I couldn't resist!

About 5 months. By the time it came in I wasn't even excited anymore hehe. I waited four more weeks before I had it installed.

It's been nearly 3 months since I ordered my AbFlug rear bumper, Varis hood, & Central 20 side skirts. I'm hoping the hood and side skirts will arrive early January......the rear bumper......not sure yet.
